RedState admits that Ben Domenech plagiarized
RedState co-founder Mike Krempasky has a post titled On behalf of RedState.
Krempasky begins his post with the following paragraph: "A young man took something and called it his own. He owes apologies to those writers, his editors, and especially his friends who have rushed to his defense in the past 48 hours. It is an embarrassing offense -- and one rightly criticized."
The young man that Krempasky refers to is RedState co-founder Ben Domenech. Being that he is Domenech's friend, Krempasky doesn't directly admit to what his friend Ben did. Nowhere in his post does Krempasky actually say that Domenech engaged in plagiarism and then lied about doing so.
At least Domenech does a better job of admitting to his guilt. In his post titled Contrition, Domenech states, "I want to apologize to National Review Online, my friends and colleagues here at RedState, and to any others that have been affected over the past few days. I also want to apologize to my previous editors and writers whose work I used inappropriately and without attribution. There is no excuse for this - nor is there an excuse for any obfuscation in my earlier statement."

JUST ZEROING IN ON THE REAL PROBLEM HERE: So even though the red states are the MAJORITY - liberals do not want red state people represented even MARGINALLY in their newspapers? Sounds pretty unbalanced to me.
